Try AntiSpam, a ultra light spam filter

Created entirely in assembly language (yes, only 88Kb!)

Protect unlimited number of pop3 email addresses (gmail mail included)

Scan the mail header AND also a number of lines from the mail body

Can check all hosts found in the mail header against DNSBL (“Real-time Blackhole List”)

Alert on receiving any new message or only when receiving a good message plus many other features…

home.deds.nl/~antispam/

AntiSpam uses UIDL extensively. This key feature is not present in many spam filters, wich can lead to wrong inbox operations with them!

Well on the one side I happy that I am not the only one who has to fight with spam (email Spam) and on the other side it scary me how this could happen. Without spam filter it would not be possible to do some work.

i’ve made some seo to a place that runs spamming robots, and i was shocked by their sophistication. the robots used to go through the post and compose a relevant comment, and they got response from people…

in addition for spamming in order to promote their websites, i think pr is also a very important parameter, people love the link juice.. but i guess when google 4 example’ll find a better formula, everything’ll be different.

WITH great interest I was reading your post and at every instant I was remembering my experience which where just likely to be same. I must say that I am chocked by the 2000-3000 comments spam figure. I get about 3-5 spam comments per month, none of which is automatic (all from people who manually write a comment to get their website known).

Frankly to say I was unkown about your suggestion but as I read I was feeling somebody else has told me same but who? Than I got that My neibour with whom some time before freely I ask about this matter and he said same. But sorry to myself I ignore him and now I get its brief explanation…. Thx.

I never thought about the pure about of energy and resources wasted by spammers, comment spam only being one part of the whole spam arena. I cannot imagine the pure volume of spam generated every day.

My main blog doesn’t get much spam and my filters do a really good job of catching it, so I don’t waste much time managing it.

I’ve just added an Akismet counter to our front page (see the right column) that shows how much spam Akismet have caught so far :)
